Royals with umbrellas

1/16

April 01, 2016

Come rain or shine, royals around the world carry out hundreds of engagements every year. And with some climates being partial to rain, (looking at you England!), umbrellas have become a must-have accessory. Queen Elizabeth has even commissioned custom brollies that match her colourful ensembles!

Here, Hello! rounds up some of the best photos of royals with their trusty umbrellas.

No one handles an umbrella better than the Queen. The style maven loves to match her brolly to her hat and dress coat combo and always opts for a clear finish so she is visible at all times.

Princes William and Harry didn't let a little rain stop them from putting on an epic concert in memory of their late mother Princess Diana in 2007. The show featured performances by Elton John, Kanye West and Joss Stone (pictured here).

Umbrellas hold a special meaning in the hearts of Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia. The royal couple, seen here in July 2014, famously included a moving rendition of Rihanna's hit song "Umbrella" during their wedding service in 2015.
